A New Beginning

I have to admit that I'm amazed by the audacity of my decision to start a blog, since it implies a certainty in my importance on the world's stage. I don't mean to say that I, as a sentient being capable of forming her own opinions about life's happenings, am unimportant and that my feelings don't matter, just that I am willing to acknowledge that there are others out there who are better equipped to share the details of their lives and offer groundbreaking insight. Yet, I believe that humans gain wisdom and acceptance of the differences of others through reading about their experiences and reactions. So, though it may transform me into an outmoded cliché for practicing it, my belief in the power of writing has led me to abandon my cynicism. I hope that something I write will make a difference in someone's life.
